Prince George offers experiences in nature, science and culture, each with its own focus. Forests for the World features trails through forest habitats and along the shores of Shane Lake. The Exploration Place combines a museum and science centre with a connection to local food and drink; Two Rivers Gallery and Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park offer perspectives on art and local history. You can tailor your stay to the theme that interests you most.
Forest Trails and Shane Lake
Forests for the World has more than 15 kilometres of trails through different forest habitats and along the shores of Shane Lake. The forest and lakeshore provide two tangible points of reference for the nature-focused part of a trip. The extent of the trail network and the variety of habitats give the park a distinct character, complemented by its direct connection to the lake. If you want to include time in nature in your plans, you’ll find a clearly defined focus here, with both the forest landscape and the lakeshore playing a part.
Museum, Science and Local Cuisine
The Exploration Place in Prince George is the largest museum and science centre in northern British Columbia. It offers a clear focus for travellers interested in museums and science. Its café and teaching kitchen add a culinary dimension, preparing local food and drink. If local cuisine is one of your travel interests, this connection adds a distinct culinary element to the centre’s scientific and cultural profile.
Contemporary Art and Local History
Two Rivers Gallery is a centre for contemporary Canadian art and creativity in Prince George and the Central Interior. Through exhibitions and programs, the Gallery offers a variety of ways to engage with visual art and cultural expression. This focus may appeal if you’re looking for an introduction to art that explicitly includes participation. Here, cultural expression is a focus alongside the art itself.
Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park was formerly the site of a Lheidli village. This historical connection offers a different perspective from the Gallery’s contemporary art, directing attention to the site’s earlier history. If you’d also like to consider a place’s past during your trip, this connection offers a distinct point of interest.
Taking Your Bike on the City Bus
You can also plan your transportation in practical terms. Prince George city buses have bike racks on all scheduled trips, each accommodating up to two bicycles. If you’re bringing a bike, you can combine bus and bicycle travel. The capacity of each rack is a practical consideration for solo travellers as well as for two people travelling with one bike each.
